ABOUT US

Duntroon School was established in 1879. The school is recognised as being of historical significance in our community. It is situated in a small township bounded by State Highway 83, Livingstone Street and the Maerewhenua River. The majority of children are transported to school by three bus runs from a wide catchment area. The catchment of the school is Campbell Park to the West, Blackpoint to the East and Danseys’ Pass to the South.

We provide stimulating and engaging learning opportunities for students from Year 0 to 8, supported by a dedicated and collaborative team of educators. Our thriving rural school is well supported by the Board of Trustees and the local community.

Our work is underpinned by the four core values of Honesty, Respect, Perseverance, Co-operation and Inclusion which sit within our vision: ‘The BEST we can be’ Ko te pai e taea e tatou!

B - Believe in myself, E - Empowered to learn, S - Socially Responsible, T - Thinkers and Learners for life.

We invite you to come and see for yourself what makes our kura so special. We warmly welcome whānau and community members to visit us, meet our passionate staff, and experience the unique spirit of our rural school in the Waitaki Valley.
